Mozilla shortcut key not working

[Philip Walden]

I upgraded my RH9 to FC4 and now FC5. I use Mozilla as a mail and news 
reader.

The short cut key shift+ctrl+C which marks all mail as read, has not 
worked since I went to FC4. The other short cuts seem to be fine. For 
example, my work-around: alt+A to select all, followed by M to mark 
selected as read, works fine.

Any suggestions?

Try looking in System|Preferences|Keyboard Shortcuts

That was the Gnome menu I used to change some of the default keyboard
shortcuts back to things that I liked.  Perhaps shift+ctrl+C means
something to Gnome.

Alternatively, if you are using KDE, look for a similar type of
configuration menu in KDE.

--wpd

Good thought, but shift-control-C is not assigned to any of my Gnome 
shortcuts.

Any other ideas?

Seamonkey has the same problem.

I've had similar experiences with setting shortcuts.  In some cases I've
had success by trying out different shortcuts until I found one that
actually did something.  In other cases, nothing I could do would make
it work.  e.g. I cannot make the "lock screen" shortcut work, at all.
And that's one that I really would like a quick hotkey for.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.

If you have an enhanced "internet keyboard" you might want to try
LinEAK.

http://lineak.sourceforge.net/

I have programmed all my extra buttons using it. ie "mail" button brings 
up mozilla mail, etc. As I recall it has builtin gnome functions like 
lock-screen.

In Thunderbird (1.5.x) the shortcut to mark all messages read is now
just shift-c.

I don't know if that applies to mozilla/seamonkey as well.

No Mozilla/Seamonkey is still shift+control+C
